If I left anyone off that I needed to encourage or offend, please add them. If I sent this to anyone who didn’t care to see it...
There’s always tomorrow.

You’re fast... that’s probably why they call you, “smokingfrog”!
God bless.

Thomas Jefferson to John Adams ....
"It is too late in the day for men of sincerity to pretend they believe in the Platonic mysticisms that three are one, and one is three; and yet that the one is not three, and the three are not one. But this constitutes the craft, the power and the profit of the priests." - to John Adams, 1803
No, that’s fine... any other rare exceptions you’d like to post, I’m up for it. I’ll see your Jefferson and raise you a Washington any day.(of course, a reply may have to wait until tomorrow).
By the way... care to comment on the entire piece or are you just here to cherry pick (speaking of Washington) as usual?
Hello. Nice post.
Yes, evolution - the fraud that has taken many millions to death and hell.,,,is much more serious than Climategate - but related to it.
May I also recommend some fantastic “short” sermons - by Dr. Erwin Lutzer - that are extremely enlightening on this subject and downloadable as podcasts or available simply for audio listening on the net.
These are ALL quite good - see the listing at

"The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the Supreme Being as his father, in the womb of a virgin, will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter."
Thomas Paine:
"Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and tortuous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistant that we call it the word of a demon than the word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind; and, for my part, I sincerely detest it, as I detest everything that is cruel."
If we don't make it up...
Who will?
ALL THE NEWS THAT'S FIT TO BE TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT
You’ve got ‘em cornered now.
You lose on your Washington:
Historian Barry Schwartz writes: "George Washington's practice of Christianity was limited and superficial because he was not himself a Christian... He repeatedly declined the church's sacraments. Never did he take communion, and when his wife, Martha, did, he waited for her outside the sanctuary... Even on his deathbed, Washington asked for no ritual, uttered no prayer to Christ, and expressed no wish to be attended by His representative." [New York Press, 1987, pp. 174-175]
Paul F. Boller states in is anthology on Washington: "There is no mention of Jesus Christ anywhere in his extensive correspondence." [Dallas: Southern Methodist University Press, 1963, pp. 14-15]
I agree too, sir!

Thomas Jefferson will have to answer to God for his refusal to believe the truth; but that makes it no less true!
Dr. Lutzer’s Running to Win series has focused on the Truth of God’s creation vs the Darwinian delusion since mid November.
His titles include:
The Tale of Two Graves - 4 Parts - begun 11/17/09
“Charles Darwin made history with ‘On the Origin of Species’. This book helped launch evolution on its way...
The battle lines are drawn. Christians believe in a Creator God. Evolutionists believe in random chance. The bottom line: if there’s no God, there’s no one to judge our behavior. And a lot of people would like that just fine. Today: we begin a series on “The Darwin Delusion.” “
God’s Great Universe - 4 Parts - begun 11/23/2009
“Evolutionists have a tough sell. It’s one thing to say life developed by chance. It’s another to say how it all started...
Untold quadrillions of stars, planets and galaxies all argue that a Designer put them there. Pure chance can’t create anything...something had to set it all in motion. Today, a look at the virtual infinity that is the universe we live in...fit to honor the One who made it all.”
God’s First Couple - 3 Parts - begun 11/27/2009
“For Darwin’s followers, there was no Eden. Primitive man rose up by pure chance from the primieval slime, and, here we are.
The Bible gives an account with no chances. God hand-made the first human man and woman, and gave them a place to live with a mandate to serve Him as custodians of the earth. While the world celebrates Darwin’s theories, believers know that it was God, not chance, that brought male and female together.”
The Fingerprints of God - 4 Parts - begun 12/2/2009
“The scientific method involves experimentation and the validation of results. When it comes to creation, this won’t work.... There’s no way to re-enact the moment of creation. Science must give way to faith, and that troubles many. The issue of evolution has carved a great divide between those who believe the Bible and those who scorn it. Today: questions and answers on a theory that really can’t hold water.”
Wow! What a post!
The lies, the hypocrisy, the seething burning hate and the overall general nuttiness.
If you are really an Atheist pretending to be a Christian in order to scare people away from religion, you’re doing a great job.
